COMPOSITION FOR FUEL.

To all ichom it may concern:

Belt known that I, ST. JOHN ODOR1s, of the city and county of-Philadelphia, and State of Penns -lvania have invented a new and use ful Composition for Fuel; and I'dohe'reby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the composition, the proportions of its component parts, and the operation of combining them. a

The nature of my invention consists in-coln-- bining coal-dust or coal in small particles with coal-ashes, alumina, or other such substance as does retain caloric, sawdust, coal-tar, .and vegetable matter known as street-garbage, iitJhc following proportions, for constituting a composition for fuel.

Proportions: seveuty-fivc parts coal'dust, tcn parts coal-ashes or alumina, five parts coaltnr, fire parts sawdust, five parts street garbnge, ,the above to be mixed cold until the ports are well incorporated, and pressed into forms.

The proportions given will produce a good article of fuel suitable for ordinary culinary and household purposes; but as a heavier,

lighter, or more combustible fuel maybe required for many purposes, a variation of about five per cent. in the parts will produce the desired result without essentially changing the nature of the fuel from that above described, an increase in the coal making it heavier and capable of greater intensity of heat, anda decrease producing the reverse result.

The street-garbage used in the composition of this fuel will comprise rotten leaves and wood, shavings, vegetable matter generally, and all the refuse 0t kitchens which is thrown into the street.

WhatI claim as my invention is-' combination of street-garbage with coal-dust, coal-ashes,sawdust, and coal-tar or other batti- 'ljhe' formation of an artificialfuel by the minous substance, substantially as herrinbc-
